25 Facts:

1. I am seriously afraid of clowns. I watched Stephen King's "It" as a kid at a sleepover and clowns have haunted me dreams ever since. Don't even get me started on our local clown, "Ballooney".... {shudder}. (Why this is #1 on my list, I have no idea.)

2. I don't really crave sweets. Apparently this makes me a a bit of an enigma, but I'll take a bowl of popcorn over a bowl of ice cream any day of the week.

3. I'm not a kid person. If you know me, then, well, you already know this. But, I am softening. Sloooowly. (Thanks baby Jack)

4. I want to run a half marathon and hike Half Dome before I'm 30.

5. I was 27 the first time I went to Vegas (I know, what took me so long?!).

6. I hate when my toe nails are even a little bit long. I always have to cut them before I get a pedicure because the nail ladies always want to leave them long (and square). What's up with that?

7. I have only been to 3 states in the Continental U.S. (4 if you count Hawaii). I plan on changing that soon.

8. I love standing outside near the dryer vent and smelling the clean laundry tumbling around. Probably not the best for my allergies.

9. I LOVE downhill mountain biking. Bring it!

10. It's my firm belief that bacon tastes good on EVERYTHING.

11. I like Miley Cyrus. There, I said it.

12. I have lived at the beach my whole life and have never really liked the sand.

13. I love the first smell of the mountains after getting out of the car having driven 8 hours to get to them.

14. I re-watched The Labyrinth recently. All I can say is "WTF?!" How on earth did I get away with watching that acid trip of a film when I was little? And David Bowie in those silver pants? No. Just no.

15. I have never done Karaoke. It totally scares me (although I avidly practice in the car. Oh, yes, I'm that girl). Wanna hear me sing in front of people? Cocktails.  More then one.

16. I've never gotten a speeding ticket. I did run a red light once. That was a pricey one.

17. I think a bowl of cereal is a legitimate meal choice. Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner.

18. I always thought wiener dogs were lame...until I got two. Now I think they are rad.

19. I almost drowned once. Super scary (though still not as scary as a clown).

20. I like pickle relish, but not pickles.

21. I married my high school sweetheart.

22. I've always wanted to learn to play the guitar.

23. I tried snowboarding once. I had to do a class first before my parents would let me go down the mountain and the first thing they teach you is how to fall. How to fall?!?! Um, no. I'll stick to skis, thanks.

24. If it's a good book, I will read 150 pages a night on average. This is why I use the public library so much. Buying books all the time started getting really expensive.

25. I have seen the sun set over the ocean, but have never seen it rise over one. Life goal.
